Reaching Asians With An Asian Voice
Dear Prayer Partners:
“And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, …but that is not ye the end. For nations will rise against nation..” (Matt. 24: 6-7)
Current events seem to be pointing towards the End Times as predicted in the Bible, which we have studied about many times. With the terrible events in Israel this month, it seems like the ending of God’s Grace is growing much closer. In the same chapter- Matt. 24 verse 14 it says that “and then the end shall come”, after saying “this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world”. This challenge has been the purpose of the “Asian School of Evangelism” (ASE) since its inception in the nineteen sixties. Preaching the Gospel of Jesus to the nations of Asia. God has prospered this ministry through faithful Asian men, and a supportive group of people and churches like many of you. We thank you abundantly for supporting ASE these many years.
In The Philippines our Brother Bryan Catanus has again arranged a conference in early November for potentially 50-60 pastors and evangelists taught by a Singapore Bible Seminary Instructor. Similar to the spring session, which was greatly received and extremely practical plus encouraging to the 40 plus attendees. These helpful seminars ensure the “Gospel of Jesus” will enthusiastically be preached in Negros Island and Central Philippines.
Another prayer request to add to your list would be our ASE India situation. ASE India is currently discontinued in the present after over 900 Indian Nationals have graduated and many have established churches or evangelical outreaches. Satan has been at work, and would appear to have a victory, but God can work miracles for a continuation of the Asian School of Evangelism in Khammam, India.
Thanks for your partnership in proclaiming the “Gospel of Jesus in Asia”
In this day of grace,
